A German medic said he was so troubled that he confronted his commander. Others boasted about killings in a group chat.

          This is one of the US’s partners in the war:

          America loves Nazis, whether they’re Ukrainian Neonazis or Zionazis.

            The war is a classic example of fascist infighting

              Fascists are nationalists. Fascists from different nations fighting each other isn’t really infighting, that’s just like, regular fighting.

              Not something we should be fueling at any rate. Heaven forbid anyone asks about a peace plan that isn’t total victory, though.

                Yeah it’s tough to find a compromise when Russia seems to go for the total victory or at least a settlement of gains and Ukraine hopes for a stalemate without border changes.

                  Ukraine hopes for total retreat from all claimed Ukrainian territory, not a mere stalemate. That’s hardly compromise.

              ??? Why would old collaborators (of which decidents were justly punished later) hurt “the tankie”?

              Better mention banderites who ran off to the west where they were sucking up to CIA, MI6 and West German washed-nazi intelligence while murdering people left and right (in Germany, after war no less). it’s even in the wiki too.

                  Hey liberal, I’m a little fuzzy on dates. Did this happen before or after the Munich agreement? Before or after Stalin tried to ally with Britain and France against the Nazis?

        Bold move using whataboutism for countries that don’t have national holidays for the nazi leader who was in charge of the holocaust in their regions

        Extremely appropriate that a “Mr Lemmy” is a nazi apologist.

        Isn’t it literally illegal to be a Nazi in Germany?

        No surprises for the Fr*nch though, read up on the nightmare shit they did in Algeria.

          As always, it’s not illegal when you’re in the police while you’re doing this shit

          The German justice system has reported the discovery of Nazi symbols and child pornography in messages exchanged by police officers in a private group chat.

          Five police officers, aged 22 to 25 and from three different districts, were involved in sharing the illegal content, according to the public prosecutor in charge of the investigation.

          I mean it’s meant to be illegal in Austria, but I still saw a fuckload of Nazis when I went to a football game there.

        Listen, Russians are literally Orks, tho. They’re not humans. You can kill as many as you want and it’s fine.

        If you think this take is hot, wait till you hear what we think about Palestinians, Mexicans, and anyone from Detroit.

      Hey did you know that, under the US military’s Code of Conduct, captured servicemembers are required to use any and all means at their disposal to escape and return to friendly forces?

      This is how soldiers are trained in all militaries, and yet it is still a violation of the Geneva Conventions to murder prisoners of war.

      For more information, do some research on SERE

        Umm, what if you could stop people from escaping without executing them?!
